o the cases we want to cover are:
- 320x240 RGB/TTL screen at very low cost (these are all RGB/TTL)
- 1024-1280 x 600-1024 screen at reasonable cost (these are all LVDS 1x but a _few_ eDPs are becoming available)
- 1440x900 to 1920x1080 at not unreasonable cost (these are usually Dual or Triple LVDS with some now 4-lane eDP and so on)
hmmmp.
Yesterday this may have been true. Today the starting point is something like a 7" tablet with retail price of $50 and min 800x600. With tablet guts removed and a HDMI/VGA/Composite input board fitted, that price shrinks to $30 retail.
Also if tablets were a little more open, load an OS that turns the tablet into a USB monitor may be possible = another opportunity for EOMAs to sell in their beeellions.
exactly.. with a pass-through card any device with a screen, touchpanel, mouse, internal hard drive etc basically becomes an extension system for desktop PCs, other devices - anything.
i did a case study where hilariously if you have 2 devices, one CPU Card and one pass-through card it actually doesn't matter what you plug in to what, you still end up with one computer with 2 screens.
